ReviewsPraise for Patrick Rothfuss: "As seamless and lyrical as a song... This breathtakingly epic story is heartrending in its intimacy and masterful in its narrative essence." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Reminiscent in scope of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series and similar in feel to the narrative tour de force of The Arabian Nights , this masterpiece of storytelling will appeal to lovers of fantasy on a grand scale." - Library Journal (starred review) "It is a rare and great pleasure to find a fantasist writing...with true music in the words.... Wherever Pat Rothfuss goes...he'll carry us with him as a good singer carries us through a song." -Ursula K LeGuin " The Wise Man's Fear is a beautiful book to read. Masterful prose, a sense of cohesion to the storytelling, a wonderful sense of pacing.... There is beauty to Pat's writing that defies description." -Brandon Sanderson "Patrick Rothfuss has real talent, and his tale of Kvothe is deep and intricate and wondrous." -Terry Brooks "[Rothfuss is] the great new fantasy writer we've been waiting for, and this is an astonishing book." -Orson Scott Card "As with all very best books in our field, it's not the fantasy trappings (as wonderful as they are) that make this novel so good, but what the author has to say about true, common things, about ambition and failure, art, love, and loss." -Tad Williams "This is an extremely immersive story set in a flawlessly constructed world and told extremely well." -Jo Walton, Tor.com "It is the best book I have read it years, fantasy or otherwise.... The world is so deep, the stakes are so high, the characters so real, the mysteries so magical, the magic so mysterious, the plot so twisty…every day you haven't read it is a day in your life that could be better." -Hank Green "This fast-moving, vivid, and unpretentious debut roots its coming-of-age fantasy in convincing mythology." - Entertainment Weekly, Praise for The Kingkiller Chronicle " The best epic fantasy I read last year. ...

Martin, New York Times -bestselling author of A Song of Ice and Fire "Rothfuss has real talent, and his tale of Kvothe is deep and intricate and wondrous ." --Terry Brooks, New York Times -bestselling author of Shannara "It is a rare and great pleasure to find a fantasist writing...with true music in the words ." --Ursula K.

Martin) is poised to be crowned the new king of epic fantasy ." --Barnes & Noble "I was reminded of Ursula K. Le Guin, George R. R. Martin, and J. R. R. Tolkien , but never felt that Rothfuss was imitating anyone." -- The London Times "This fast-moving, vivid, and unpretentious debut roots its coming-of-age fantasy in convincing mythology." -- Entertainment Weekly "This breathtakingly epic story is heartrending in its intimacy and masterful in its narrative essence ." -- Publishers Weekly (starred) "Reminiscent in scope of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series...this masterpiece of storytelling will appeal to lovers of fantasy on a grand scale." -- Library Journal (starred), Praise for Patrick Rothfuss: "As seamless and lyrical as a song...

She washes her hands, her face and her feet, you got 1/4 of the book
There was such a Great Possibility and it left me very unsatisfied. No doubt I was going to buy the next Rothfuss novel, I really should have waited for the novel, it will be out any time now, or 2025 if I understand rightly. Really enjoyed the first two, do yourself a favor and give this a skip.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Best Book Ever
If you are reading this and haven't read this book yet, I'm sincerely jealous that you get to go on the journey for the very first time! This is one of the best books ever written in our time, and I think just about anyone who has read it will tell you the same. It's not only a fun, compelling, suspenseful read that you will not be able to put down, it's literature. Rothfuss' motifs about storytelling and narration, performing and music, and of course the wind will fascinate even the snobbiest readers (of whom I would count myself among). This is a work which will be studied and read long, long, long after we are all dead and gone. It's just great, great, great reading, and you should get it in hardback and put it on your top shelf and worship as much as I do! It's pure genius but at the same time pure fun!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
